Look, up in the sky!

Speaking of state parks, several state-sanctioned recreational pastures on Long Island will stay open late Monday night into Tuesday as the 2014 Perseid Meteor Shower rains down.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation announced this week that Jones Beach State Park (West End II), Sunken Meadow State Park (Field 3) and Montauk State Park (upper parking lot) will remain open to accommodate meteor hunters. State officials are also waiving the normal “stargazing permit,” a $30 permission slip for state residents ($55 for nonresidents) to park inside state parks at night for astronomical purposes.

The annual Perseid Meteor Shower is expected to peak between 11 p.m. Monday and dawn Tuesday and according to NASA can produce up to 100 “shooting stars” per hour – though this year’s show will be hampered by the waning August “supermoon,” a full moon that appears 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than a normal full moon. Those hoping to catch a few meteors can take a look during Saturday and Sunday’s predawn hours, but be warned – the free state park parking is in effect Monday night only.
